Pensioner Hurt In Crash Near Drusillas

A pensioner’s been taken to hospital after a crash near Alfriston on the A27.

A Ford Focus car and a van collided just west of Drusillas Roundabout at 8.14am.

A 70-year-old woman, who was a passenger in the car, was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton for checks to abdominal pain. Others were treated at the scene for shock and minor injuries.

The road was blocked for a time and split brake fluid had to be cleaned up from the carriageway. There were tailbacks westbound for a time, but the road was re-opened within half an hour.
